Hi there,

I faced the "feature" of window to not accept "?" in filesnames when trying
to use the "-E" in wget.
I was wondering if wget knows a command or option to predefined filename,
something like:

wget -E wget myfile.html -E http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=acom"

Then the new file will be saved as "myfile.html" and not as "q?s=acom.html",
hopefully windows will not complain anymore. ;-)


I'll appreciate any comments or ideas you can provide me.

Roberto Viana.
